Max connection

[Batara Kesuma]

Hi,

We use memcached with Perl API for web application. Our application runs
on mod_perl, and the traffic is pretty high. We have 13 memcached
servers, with total memory = 25 GB. The get/second is about 400 per
server.

Today I just added some mod_perl servers, and I noticed that sometimes I
can't connect to the memcached server. They had been running for months,
and I had never experienced something like this. I tried to telnet
directly, but I got connection time out. I wonder what is the max
connection to memcached server? Because I run it under mod_perl I think
the connections got cached? Any idea on what has happened?

By the way, I got everything back to normal (well.. almost), after I
took out the newly added mod_perl servers, and restarted memcached. Here
is the stats of one of my memcached server after being restarted. Thank
you very much.
